Tremendous amount of data are accumulated continuously. Big data processing and analysis are playing increasingly important roles to make the world simpler, better, and smarter. In particular, intelligence extracted from data processing and analysis provides unprecedented opportunities for new wave of emerging applications. Meanwhile, it is well-known that big data processing and analysis require substantial computing and storage resources, which can be offered through cloud computing much easier than traditional IT. On the other hand, there arise lots of requirements on handling onsite data analysis for efficient response in e.g. unmanned vehicles, smart control of manufacturing and transportation, which can be enabled by fog/edge computing. As a result, we see huge potentials for cloud/fog/edge-based big data intelligence. Though some progress has been made in this area, there is still a need for more exploration of the cloud/fog/edge-based big data intelligence. This special issue aims to cover various aspects related to big data processing and analysis in conjunction with cloud/Fog/Edge computing for IoE, including the following topics, but are not limited to: · Cloud/Fog/Edge- based analysis models and algorithms for big data from IoE · Cloud/Fog/Edge-based big data mining platforms and tools for IoE · Machine learning for Cloud/Fog/Edge-based big data analysis for IoE · Intelligent big IoE data solutions based on Cloud/Fog/Edge- computing · Cloud/Fog/Edge- based big social data mining and computing · Urban big data computing assisted by Cloud/Fog/Edge computing · Security and privacy of big data using Cloud/Fog/Edge computing in IoE · Weaving ubiquitous IoT into Cloud/Fog/Edge for big data intelligence · New applications for big data intelligence leveraging Cloud/Fog/Edge computing *Important Dates* Submission Deadline: July 15, 2021 First Review Due: September 30, 2021 Revision Due: November 15, 2021 Sec.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: EAI GOODTECHS 2021 - 7th EAI International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good Datum: Mon, 29 Mar 2021 22:24:13 +0100 Von: Ivan Miguel Serrano Pires <impires(a)IT.UBI.PT> Antwort an: Ivan Miguel Serrano Pires <impires(a)IT.UBI.PT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG EAI GOODTECHS 2021 - 7th EAI International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good 15-17 September 2021 Aveiro, Portugal https://goodtechs.eai-conferences.org/2021/ https://confyplus.eai.eu/app#conftrack-overview/tid/2996/cid/52907 Scope Social goods are products and services that could be provided through private enterprises, government or non-profit institutions. It will benefit several people with special needs, including older adults, the performance of sports, and young people. Social goods are related to healthcare, safety, sports, environment, democracy, computer science, and human rights. Sensors may be included in the development of solutions for social good that promote the support of different physical activities, air quality, temperature. The current pandemic scenario associated with the dispersion of coronavirus over the world highlights the critical role of sensors that can support the control and treatment of different diseases. The use of computer science technologies will support multiple cross-domain fields. Mobile devices include different types of sensors. These sensorial units include accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, microphone, and Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. These sensors can be used to create numerous solutions to promote social good. Also, smart environments include multiple types of sensors such as door sensors, contact sensors, motion sensors, and light sensors. The sensors can promote the recognition of different parameters. Furthermore, mobile devices are widely used, such as smartphone, tablets, and smartwatches. Mobile devices have different capabilities for the improvement of the results of Social Good solutions. The accuracy and statistical analysis of these systems are essential for their acceptance. Human-Computer interaction and social networks help in the creation of diverse solutions and opportunities for the different types of people. The different environments can use some various technologies and architectures. Low-cost sensors can be used for the monitoring of different kinds of people, including electroencephalography, electrocardiography, and electromyography. Sensorial systems promote the creation of medical solutions that supports the preliminary diagnosis of various diseases. Furthermore, the Internet of Things, Smart-cities, distributed sensing and Fog computing are representative examples of new information and communication technologies (ICT) paradigms that aim to describe a dynamic and globally cooperative infrastructure built upon objects’ intelligence and self-configuring capabilities. These connected objects are finding their way into our pockets, vehicles, urban areas and infrastructure. The use of mobile devices is growing in different daily activities, and their use started in young people. Still, older adults are now using this type of devices. Technological tools are widely improving, and they include different sensors, which can acquire different physical and physiological data. The development of these systems is involved in the development of ICT technologies for well-being. Besides, the e-Health and m-Health solutions may not act only in the treatment and monitoring stages of different diseases. Moreover, it can act as preventive, promoting healthy lifestyles and active coaching to avoid unhealthy habits. There are various solutions currently under development related to this field. Moreover, these solutions can improve our quality of life and be used to the design and development of novel technologies for social help. It is a multidisciplinary and extensive subject for public health well-being. Moreover, Internet of Things applications provide a continuous stream of data collected in real-time. The data collected can be combined with machine learning methods to predict unexpected events in the context of a smart city. These cyber-physical systems are intelligent objects that can be the basis to develop enhanced technologies for social good. In the GOODTECHS conference, we are hence interested in experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. We are not considering only the so-called first world as the scenario for this evolution. We also refer to those areas where ICT is currently less widespread, hoping that it may represent a societal development opportunity rather than a source for further divide. The European Alliance endorses the event for innovation, a leading community-based organization devoted to the advancement of change in the field of ICT. Topics The works that will be presented at the conference will focus on the following topics: ● App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms ● Blockchain for social good ● Communication between mobile devices ● Content Distribution ● E-learning solutions ● Data collection, organization and dissemination methods ● Delay-tolerant aerial networks and ferrying approaches ● Deployment and field-testing ● Digital tools for art and feelings ● Environment sensing, monitoring and preservation ● Virtual Games, entertainment, and multimedia applications ● Health and social care ● Human-object interaction ● ICT for development ● Mobile service architectures and frameworks ● Mobility and handover management ● New application scenarios for vehicular communications ● Pervasive and ubiquitous services in cloud and IoT ● Platforms and framework for mobile devices ● Privacy issues and solutions ● Protocol design, testing and verification ● Security issues, architectures and solutions ● Smart cities and transportation ● Smart economy solutions: e-banking, e-business ● Smart governance and e-administration ● Smart living and E-health ● Technology addressing the digital divide ● Health care information systems interoperability, security and efficiency ● Ambient intelligence for well-being and e-health applications, supported by RFID technology and Wireless Sensor Networks ● Mobile applications and ubiquitous devices in Healthcare and lifestyle training ● Robotic systems and devices for health care and medicine ● Technologies to promote a healthy and secure society ● Big Data Analytics for e-health ● Assessment of Acceptance/Adoption models Cultural Evaluation of e-health ● Acceptance e-health and economic growth Factors affecting e-health adoption ● Machine learning for healthcare ● Intelligent systems for young and older adults using mobile devices ● Human factors, efficient cost control and management in society ● Intelligent decision support and data systems in health care, medicine and society ● Innovation in people supporting activities (e.g. health care, schooling and services) ● Embedded systems for healthcare ● IT Acceptance Models Acceptance of e-health services ● Major barriers and facilitators for e-health ● Bio signal Acquisition, Analysis and Processing ● Semantic Technologies and Cognition ● Physiological Computing in Mobile Devices ● Telemedicine; ● Augmented Reality in Healthcare using Wearable devices ● Sensors and Actuators ● Cloud computing for healthcare ● Mobile application concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms ● Cyber-physical systems and real-time data collection for social good ● Machine learning applications for social good Publication All registered papers will be submitted for publishing by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [TCCC] IEEE TGCN Special Issue on Edge Intelligence for Sustainable Smart Environments: Paper Submission Deadline: 15 May 2021 Datum: Mon, 29 Mar 2021 12:50:09 +0200 Von: Sabita Maharjan <sabita(a)SIMULA.NO> Antwort an: Sabita Maharjan <sabita(a)SIMULA.NO> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking *Special Issue on Edge Intelligence for Sustainable Smart Environments* https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tgcn/cfp /edge-intelligence-sustainable-smart-environments CALL FOR PAPERS *************** Edge Computing is emerging due to the great availability of computational resources, mobile devices, sensors and actuators that are pervasively deployed and today amount to more than 7 billion interfaces with the network. It enables the pushing of computation to the edge of the network, away from data centers and close to people and data sources. Edge Intelligence derives from the convergence of Edge Computing with the smart exploitation of artificial intelligence methodologies and cognitive technologies, involving sensing/actuation, learning and reasoning on distributed data and Internet of Things devices. A new generation of smart environments, empowered with Edge Intelligence capabilities, can assist the effective management of a modern society, by combining the development of advanced services able to satisfy user needs and preferences dynamically, with undelayable aspects like better exploitation of renewable energy sources, energy optimization, environment sustainability, people’s safety, quality of life and comfort. Edge Intelligence helps service provisioning, computation and communications to become efficient, green and sustainable in different ways, among which: (i) Edge Intelligence can contribute to optimize data center usage and reduce the amount of data needing to traverse the network, leading to a reduction of energy consumption and carbon emissions; (ii) applications enriched by Edge Intelligence can satisfy user needs through a more sustainable use of environmental resources; (iii) based on predictions performed by Edge Intelligence algorithms, data and computation can be brought closer to the sites where green energy is available. Edge Intelligence offers an unprecedented opportunity to offer cutting edge services to individuals and organizations and, at the same time, to contrast the continuous growth in the exchange of data and use of communication and network infrastructures. The energy consumption and the greenhouse gas emissions related to ICT technologies are estimated to amount, respectively, to 3% and 4% of the total, and these figures are being further increased by the Covid 19 pandemic. This Special Issue aims to be a valuable venue for novel and original research works in the field of Edge Intelligence and its exploitation for the design and development of sustainable and smart environments like smart cities and cognitive buildings. *************** TOPICS - green communication and networking for edge intelligence - edge intelligence in energy-efficient internet of things - edge and fog computing for green smart environments - mobile edge computing for green smart environments - energy-efficient computation, communication, and caching at the edge - energy-efficient coordination and orchestration of the intelligence at the edge - edge intelligence for energy-efficient resource management - edge intelligence supported by green clouds and data centers - sustainable continuum computing between the edge and the cloud - simulation and analysis techniques for sustainable edge intelligence - green and energy-efficient internet of things - energy optimization for edge intelligence - artificial intelligence and machine learning for sustainable smart systems - green artificial intelligence for edge systems - energy harvesting, storage, and recycling in sustainable smart systems - deployment, management and maintenance of sustainable edge intelligent systems - edge intelligence for green and energy-efficient smart cities - edge intelligence for green and energy-efficient smart buildings - edge intelligence exploiting green mobile computing and 5G - cyber security, data privacy and integrity in green edge systems - securing the integrity of devices for sustainable edge systems - use of blockchains in sustainable edge systems - trusted and verifiable services for sustainable intelligent systems at the edge - energy-efficient cognitive radio for satellite and terrestrial networking SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors need to follow the manuscript format and an allowable number of pages described at the IEEE TGCN Information for Authors page: https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tgcn/ieee-transactions-gr… To submit a manuscript for consideration for the Special Issue, please visit the journal submission website at Manuscript Central https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tgcn IMPORTANT DATES: Manuscript submission: 15 May 2021 First Review Results: 15 July 2021 Second Review Results: 31 August 2021 Publication: December 2021 (tentative) Guest Editors: Franco Cicirelli, ICAR-CNR, National Research Council of Italy, franco.cicirelli(a)icar.cnr.it Min Jia, Harbin Institute of Technology, China, jiamin(a)hit.edu.cn Sabita Maharjan, University of Oslo, Norway, sabita(a)ifi.uio.no Carlo Mastroianni, ICAR-CNR, National Research Council of Italy, carlo.mastroianni(a)icar.cnr.it Ian Taylor, University of Notre Dame, IN, USA and Cardiff University, UK, ian.j.taylor(a)nd.edu ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
